The FloJack Connects The iOS User Community With The Rest Of The NFC Fans!

There are many arguments regarding the inexplicably absent technologies that should have been incorporated in the newest Apple product, the iPhone 5. Of course, pragmatic tech savvies will simply tell you that the iPhone 5 model is nothing more than a slightly larger iPhone 4S, but that’s just a gross exaggeration.

However, one of features that the iOS fans have asked for repeatedly and for some reasons Apple refuses to include is the NFC connectivity. In case you are not familiar with the NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, then you should know it’s essentially a touch-based version of the Bluetooth with endless possibilities.FloJack all angle views

The good news is that iOS users might just get their personal Christmas miracle with the help of the revolutionary FloJack. This miniaturized wireless gadget (about 20 times smaller than the original prototype) plugs into your iOS device and automatically connects you with the rest of the NFC users. Once you activate it, it can:

  • Permit you to write/read NFC tags seamlessly
  • Trigger a wide variety of predefined actions (playing YouTube vids, exchanging contacts, texting, placing calls, setting your vehicle in drive mode, using Zapp, adding reminders, etc.)
  • Make shopping an enjoyable and less expensive experience with the aid of coupons/discounts
  • Launch the proprietary FloJack app
  • Permit learning the preferences of your customers who have NFC active devices
  • Provide connectivity with all smartphone/tablet operating systems (Windows, iOS, Android)
  • Compliant with iPhone 4 and up, all iPads and iPod Touch 5

I’m excited about the possibility there may soon be a way to connect my iPhone 4S with the rest of the Android/Windows OS phones. Being an Apple fan always had its perks, but it’s becoming quite frustrated to miss out on the innovative NFC tech. The great thing about the FloJack is that it aims to bring together all smartphone communities as well as clients and retailers.FloJack for iPad On one hand you have the advantage of learning your client’s favorite products irrespective of your niche, while on the other hand they gain access to discounts, coupons and simpler paying methods. Everybody wins!

But, as mentioned in the spec section, that’s just the tip of the iceberg for FloJack’s capabilities. Let me tell you, connecting with your friends on social networks and employing the NFC tags for a wide variety of purposes is no simple matter.

Time if running out for FloJack. They have a really great product idea, but with little time left, they still need additional funding. If you are interested in seeing the FloJack project enter production phase, you can show your support for the team on their Kickstarter page.
